Treatment

2. Viburnum brachybotryum Hemsley var. tengyuehense Smith (1916: 137)

Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: Tengchong (Tengyue), about 2000 m s.l., shrub, 4–5 feet high, July 1912, G. Forrest 8756 [lectotype E ( E00265390 )!, ( Fig. 1-B View FIGURE 1 ) here designated]. Residual syntypes:— CHINA. Yunnan: Tengchong (Tengyue), about 2000 m s.l., shrub, 4–5 feet high, July 1912, G. Forrest 8770 [ E ( E00265389 )!], CHINA. Yunnan: Tengchong (Tengyue), valley, about 2150 m s.l., shrub, 6–12 feet high, June 1912, G. Forrest 8216 [ K ( K000797976 )!].

Three gatherings, G. Forrest 8756, G. Forrest 8770 & G. Forrest 8216, were designated as “type” in Chinese, respectively, in the protologue ( Smith 1916), and each gathering contains one sheet that preserved in two herbaria, thus all the three sheets should be of the syntype according to the Art. 9.6 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). Although the sheet E00265390 has an additional label marked a “holotype” symbol by T.R. Dudley, it is definitely invalid according to the Art. 9.6 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). The sheet E00265390 we designated as the lectotype was in the best condition. It was initially conceived as a variety of Viburnum brachybotryum Hemsley (1888: 349) , and then it has been merged with V. tengyuehense (Smith) Hsu (1966: 72) ( Hsu 1966) .
